The Island, So Nearly Lived Up To Expectations

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2005)

When i saw this i was so looking forward to it, just by seeing the trailers it looked awesome, and Ewan talking to well himself was a site, and him duplicating his Scottish accent and trying to be himself that was just pure genius.
Johansson, was good enough, she wasn't anything special but i think that Ewan carried her performance throughout the film, saying that Ewan carried the film itself much like he did with Star Wars 3.
Sean Bean, well hes been one of my favourite actors of all time and yet again he pulls of his bad boy role with imperative ease. He is pure evil and yet hes pure genius when it comes to him playing his parts. Ewan and Bean where the best two no other actors could have filled their shoes without ruining the film in some way.
yes the film wasn't amazing, yes it wasn't anything new, but did i enjoy it..... well yes, it was great Ewan was awesome like i said nothing revolutionary in film making terms but it was a great film to just sit down to and watch.
So i gave it 8/10 - - - ReWatchable- Yes - - - Buy It On DVD- Definitely
